Ever Heard Skin Care Tips

• DON’T drink with a straw. When you tighten your lips to suck from a straw, you’re using the same muscles it takes to smoke a cigarette. And, we all know what smokers’ lips, and the wrinkles around them, look like.

• You DO use a hands-free headset for your cell phone. Think about it. If your cell phone is ridden with makeup and oils after a long call, guess what transferred to your face? Bacteria, acne’s faithful ally.

• You DO apply more sunscreen to the left side of your face and upper body. Not because she has something against your right side, but because she realizes we spend a good chunk of time in our cars. And where does the sun hit us when we’re behind the wheel? You guessed it, our left sides.




• You DO cut your TE Pads in half. The faithful ZO Skin Health customer does this to make them last longer and thus gets more bang for her buck. You know what they say, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Kudos to Teresa for coming up with this one.

• Women who DON’T own a magnifying mirror are doing their skin and themselves a favor. Looking at our pores that close-up can cause unnecessary obsession and, in many cases, lead to picking, prodding and popping. Put the magnifying mirror away. Your skin, and sanity, will thank you.

Skin Care and Sunscreen in Winter

For many of us, sunscreen is something that we only think about in the summer when we’re enjoying the beach or the pool (unless your are lucky enough to live in an all-year summer environment!). However, the sun shines on your face all year long, and that means that protecting your skin from sun damage should be an important part of your skin care regime even in the winter. It seems as though we shouldn’t need to say it in the current age of awareness of how the sun can damage your skin, but you need to be wearing a sunscreen
product every day!

Moisturizers and Sunscreen:

Winter is harsh on your skin not only because of sunlight but also because of the cold weather, strong winds and dryer air. A daily sunscreen can double as your daily moisturizer as well, and while a moisturizer is important every day, it’s doubly important during the dry winter months. Most Murad moisturizers include spf protection, so simply select the one that’s best for your skin.
